Installtion Problems (install-6.php)

Submitted by techgnostic on Tue, 08/07/2007 - 23:14.

I'm having a hurdle to get past on the installer. I'm hoping for some help here.

Since I'm on a shared host, I'm not able to allow the installer to create directories above the www root. While running the installer, after connection to the database and installing the sample data, I naturally came across the error that says that it couldn't create the applicationfiles directory and write to it. I created all the directories that it was going to need access to and gave everything 777. Refreshing the page I saw that it had indeed installed some framework files, but then stopped short. Here:

Creating scripts directory...
Unable to create directory /
Unable to copy application framework files!

The README suggests that it should be apparent what directories need to be created here. Can someone please tell me what directory needs to be created here, because I can't seem to figure it out.

You'll have to find a place

You'll have to find a place to store your configuration files, it is insecure to put them under the web root. Maybe contact you systems administrator about setting up a directory in your home folder on the server.

What are your settings for step 5?
